Watch 'Stretch' Stars Patrick Wilson and Brooklyn Decker Try Not Laugh While Filming a Sex Scene

When movie stars are asked about filming sex scenes, they inevitably complain about how they’re so awkward, tedious, and unsexy to shoot. Well, here’s the evidence. Director Joe Carnahan released some slightly NSFW behind-the-scenes footage of Patrick Wilson and Brooklyn Decker shooting a sex scene for the new film Stretch. It’s all here, from a make-up person applying spray-on sweat, to the director shouting “Great f—-ing!” The whole vibe is very goofy and weird. And yet, in those seconds between the commands “action” and “cut,” the actors give it all they’ve got — and you can tell that the end result will be legitimately sexy.

Carnahan is sharing this unusually candid clip as promotion for Stretch, a violence-strewn black comedy in the vein of his 2006 cult favorite Smokin’ Aces. The micro-budget film, whichstars Wilson as a desperate chauffeur hired by a shady billionaire, was originally slated for a theatrical release in March. However, Universal dropped the film in January, with producer Jason Blum saying that Stretch was just too “quirky and independent-feeling” for a wide release. Despite this setback, Carnahan is a firm believer that Stretch, which also stars Chris Pine, Jessica Alba, Ray Liotta, and Ed Helms, will find its audience. “Anybody who pays for @stretchthemovie and doesn’t dig it, I’ll refund your money personally,” the director tweeted earlier today. “That’s how confident I am in the experience.”
